This one only has two entries with mileage reported, 101 when its new in 85, and 58k in 2002, and now not on the carfax, but listed as 61k. 3k in 5 years isn't a great sign, but at least the car seems to have spent its whole life in same IL area, not like a lot of cars that have been to a handful of dealer auctions.
Just my two cents, and so its not some negative thing, this one is high miles, but looks like it could go cheap, cheap enough I wonder if the dealer isn't going to pull it at the last minute for a "local" sale.
87 146k AT gray/black bid at $4800.

OTOH carfax shows 12/03/2002 146,878, with essentially nothing since. No real ownership type driving in 5 years and the new owner can look forward to months of one problem after another showing up. Still, is going to be a cheap PSO, Porsche Shaped Object.

That's a great deal! Any post '87 928 in that condition is worth twice that much in parts! Buy it, drive it occasionally between repairs, and then once you've had enough of pulling your hair out over the constant repairs, part her out and get your repair monies back. It's a win, win situation!
Unfortunately though, it's not Zermatt Silver as misadvertised. I'm sure he's just misinformed because nothing can be gained by that misrepresentation, but damn, if it actually was Zermatt Silver, I'd be bidding on it! That's my personal favorite colored 928, like this one of ole Mikeys!
